Movies and TV Shows

Huh ... I rather enjoyed the film.

I think for me, what seemed like irrational survival decisions to you were the obvious things people would do because they want to live a life as much as possible. Think of lockdown during the pandemic and how much people just wanted to "get back to normal". I think people doing risky things at least some of the time while thinking that it will be totally fine is actually a very realistic take on a post-apocalyptic survival story especially with its timeline being a long one as is the case in A Quiet Place.

Convincing yourself that you can totally get away with something is a way of convincing yourself that things are actually OK, even they are not at all.

I watched that movie one time a few years back and I mainly remember the writing just being bad. Their survival decisions made no sense to me. Just hated the logic of that movie.

I blame the dumbass little kid for getting himself killed, but you're right, she set it up.

But here's the thing... she's REALLY hateable in the sequel. Not sure what they were going for there.

A vastly overrated movie in my opinion. Not to mention the questionable actions and decisions made by the main characters at pretty much every step, the premise of some creatures being totally immune to modern weapons (even if one is able to suspend their disbelief enough to accept the whole "surviving 20+ km/s atmosperic re-entry on an interstellar asteroid" thing) is just silly.

I mean, we've got munitions meant to penetrate the armor of a modern MBT, no organics will stand a chance, and if they do, tactical nukes are a very real thing. Although I think LORAD-s would have sufficed to deal with the bloody things. Or just set up a few Tom Danley's J5-4015 playing grindcore.

The fridge logic was strong with this one, and I didn't even make it to the fridge.

Why does Office Jim not simply prank the aliens, so that they look foolish?

It's one of those movies where you have to just kind of enjoy it and shut your brain off and throw logic out the window.

Another movie came out with the same alien type plot, Extinction? It may have been a straight to stream knock off but IMO was a better movie (two brothers & a young girl...daughter?). Also , another movie came out at the same time called Extinction...all during lockdown times so we watched hundreds of movies....so that why its a bit fuzzy.

This movie was trash tier Bird Box.

Having sex during this time is not unfathomable and pregnancy happens. It took me a while to realise you weren't talking about the baby when you immediately switched to "the girl".

Also:

John Krasinski is a mediocre actor and director, and his career would have ended with The Office if it weren't for his talented wife floating him, and the way he's somehow leeched onto the Boston boys.
